Online Security

Security is a priority at Lee Bank and we are committed to protecting the security and confidentiality of your information.

Internet Security

Information that you send us through our internet banking site is scrambled. This technology, called Secure Socket Layers (SSL), protects information you submit or receive through our site. We have also established user code and password controls to protect the information you submit or receive from our site.

Multifactor Authentication

A customer requesting access or entry to a Lee Bank system shall authenticate himself or herself by proving his or her identity using various means. Multifactor authentication (MFA) is an enhanced security solution which makes use of secondary customer validation levels in addition to a standard user ID and password. The use of multiple factors, as opposed to just one, delivers a higher level of authentication assurance for both the bank and the customer. Methods that depend on more than one factor are more difficult to compromise than single-factor methods.

MFA Device Security is a security solution that identifies each customer based on a username, password and the specific computer being used. This feature examines the customer's computer and registers it with the bank's electronic security system based on a number of characteristics, in the process creating a one-of-a-kind electronic fingerprint. This electronic fingerprint is verified each time the customer logs in. MFA Device Security prevents unauthorized, third party access to a customer account, even if the third-party possesses the customer's username and password. For customers who access their accounts from more than one PC, supplemental authentication confirms the customer's identity by prompting for the answers to questions which they have previously supplied answers to. MFA Device Security assures Lee Bank that the customer is legitimately authorized to access our system, and further assures our customers that they are accessing accounts through Lee Bank's true website.

Fraudulent Web Sites

Be alert for copycat sites that use a name that is similar to that of a reputable business. Fraudulent sites attempt to lure you into clicking onto the copycat site and giving your personal information, including your account number and password. Always make sure you know whom you are dealing with over the Internet and verify the authenticity of each web site you visit.

Firewalls

Lee Bank makes use of firewalls to prevent unauthorized access to our data processing network and systems. A firewall is a security mechanism that regulates the data passing in and out of a computer network. A firewall is a commonly used, specialized device which acts as a technological barrier designed to prevent unauthorized or unwanted communications between sections of a computer network.
